A deadly crash rocked New York City on Saturday night as a Mexican Navy training ship carrying 277 people slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge, killing two, critically injuring two more, and leaving at least 19 others hurt.
The vessel, the Cuauhtémoc, was passing under the iconic bridge just before 9 p.m. when it lost power mid-maneuver and crashed into the structure’s lower abutment, in full view of horrified crowds.
